    Canyon Bikes

    It’s a new year and I’m looking at getting a new Bike. New some help/advice from owners here!


    Good day everyone!

    As per the title, I am looking at getting a bew bike and Canyon is by Far the best value for the money I can find.

    I currently own a 2022 Cannondale SuperSix Evo Ultegra (Non-Di2) with Shimano Dura-Ace CF Disc wheels. The bike is 51cm and fits perfectly. Nothing wrong with it but a bit more comfort might be nice.

    I am 170cm tall with i believe a 79cm inseam (need to mesure it again to be sure). The Canyon eize chart says I should get an XS. Is this correct?

    As for which bike, I am looking at these two :

    https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/road-bikes/endurance-bikes/endurace/cf/endurace-cf-7-di2/4017.html?dwvar_4017_pv_rahmenfarbe=R076_P06

    My favorite is the Slx 8 but is it really worth the extra cash? I don't race or anything. I just ride by myself until I get tired. I think an endurance type bike for comfort is more my style.

    Sorry for the long post! I appreciate any and all input/advice/help.

      I’d get the CF-7 if I were you. They’re almost the same weight, and you’re already familiar with Shimano from your existing bike, AND it’s $2200 cheaper. If you were racing or *had* to win your local group ride every week maybe the SLX would be every so slightly faster just due to the wheels.
